Do you use a setting powder? If you don’t and you a running into problems like your makeup is fading or turning a bit blotchy, or you are getting shiny in the t-zone area midday, a setting powder can help prevent or correct some of those issues!

I broke down a few of my favorites, from translucent options to ones that add a bit of glow as well!

I usually use a setting spray but you make me want to try a powder! Also – thank you for including a drugstore option. I usually try to shop at Sephora but I like to use a less expensive option to see if I like something before investing in it.

I’m going to check out that NYX one. It’s not even so much about the price point for high end stuff (well, yeah, it is!) but also the convenience of being able to get it on a Target or Walmart run, too.

Curious, but did you change your settings for when your posts go live? Up until a couple of months ago, they were faithfully up at 7AM NY time, now it’s less predictable. Not complaining at all, just curious! This is me trying to sound like I understand anything tech-y!!!

You recommend very lightly dusting powder. I have only a translucent powder right now. It seemed good to me because I am super fair and don’t want any fake tan messing with my perfect foundation shade. I blend the powder in because I heard translucent powder can give a “flashback” when photographed wearing it unless blended. Do you agree?

Love the recommendations! I got the Laura Mercier a few months ago because you love it so much, and it does NOT disappoint… Question about the rest of the powders though. Would you layer the Becca on top of a setting powder or use it alone? I’ve got an oily t-zone and need to set it, but I also love the idea of adding some understated glow…I’d be nervous to use the Becca by itself for fear of being an oil slick later in the day, but then I also don’t want to look like I’m caked in powders if I layer them.

Could you list in order how products are supposed to be layered? Primer, foundation, concealer…then is it setting powder, bronzer, blush? If you use Becca does that take the place of bronzer? Also, is the color Golden HOUR or HAZE? Thanks!

Not sure if this is a problem solved by setting powder, but how do you keep under eye concealer from settling into the fine lines under your eyes? After only a couple hours it looks like I have really big wrinkles, but I’m not even 30 yet 🙁
